Xmltv epg

[Madarse]

anyone test this

to work was to change the EPG setting from XMLTV to "satellite" which means losing the 7day epg.
update it and then go back on the settings

Tried it, doesn't work. This is really irritating.

Switching from XMLTV to Satellite does mean that the time on the EPG is correct. You can't update it as when it's on satellite setting there's nothing to update, so the option is greyed out.

What it does mean however is that you can record using the EPG again which is a bonus. It's a work around for now as I'm not sure just how long this problem is going to continue for (perhaps until the clocks go back again as I doubt they gave much thought to the British summertime issue).
oh well, it was nice whilst it lasted!

Yes. Some channels are missing programme information. Those you detail above are some of them.

When I switch to satellite EPG, most of the channels have no information.

If you change to that channel most will 'populate' the list

Check tomorrows listings, after an update these channels are a few of many that lose that days listings. If they're still not appearing you need to check your Pid settings. All mine work fine but I had to amend a few Pid's.

Hmm. Having the same problem with EPG being an hour out since BST started. Tried UTC + 1 and other ideas by previous posters and still no luck. We can't be the only ones who have spotted this issue surely?

I've decided just to go back to the "satellite" EPG rather than use the XMLTV 7 day EPG until they get it sorted, at least the times are right there.

 

[Steely]

The satellite EPG has its own problems, only updating when you go to that channel, and only now and next in most cases.

Sorry my box is an f5s, can you just confirm it will work with that.

Also how do I upload it to the box (obv. usb)?

 

[Matt29]

Mine is also an f5s and there is a thread on here for how to upload the firmware that is what I used.

 

[sucmnsee]
